Protecting confidential information: A report on the improper access to, and release of, confidential information from the police computer systems by members of the Queensland Police Service

This report has resulted from the Criminal Justice Commission (CJC’s) inquiry into alleged improper access to, and release of, confidential and personal information from the police computer systems by members of the Queensland Police Service (QPS); it presents the results of a review, undertaken by the CJC of the information-security policies, procedures and practices of the QPS. 

The report puts forward a comprehensive set of recommendations, which, if implemented, should substantially reduce the risk of police officers and other QPS employees improperly accessing and releasing confidential information held in the police computer systems.

This report was tabled in Parliament on 6 December 2000.
